Death of EIrs. VIII Blow.

It was only a few months ago-in July
we heieve-that we made note of the
marriage of Miss Sarah Cartwright, of
Poynette, Wis. to Mr.. VIII Blow, of
this city. She was in the bloom of
womanhood, in perfect health, and all
together a lovely girl. Still within this
healthy looking figure desease was lurk-
ing there. A few months passed away
when it made its appearance. Quick
consumption made rapid strides and
claimed her as victim last Friday at
six O'clock p. M.
Mrs Blow had been poorly for sever
al weeks past, but was not confined to
her bed only three or four weeks. She
was in the prime of life, being only Is
years, two months and three days old
at the time of her demise. She had the
best of ca1e from her mother, husband
and relatives but ali efforts for her re-
eovery was of no avail.
The funeral service took place at Mr.
Rob't Blows residence Monday after
noon Rev. Loomis officiating. Her re-
mains were accompanied to her home
at Poynette in the evening, by her hus-
band and mother, Miss Ida Carman and
Mr.. James Blow.

In the matter of the State of Wiscon-
sin against John Agnes, of Marshfeld,
on charge of burglary and larceny.
Agnes forfeited his bond $500 last May
term of Court, and has not put in an
appearance since. The District Attor-
ney brought suit on the bond aud en-
tered judgment againt two of the sur
reties w. III. Upham and Joseph Nor
rel. Execution was issued and the
amount something over $3.50 has been
promptly paid over. This we presume
is not relished by the sureties, tut it is
good example for those who sign bond.

Mr.. Horton is a perfect gentleman and

looks funny to an outsider that a young

outside politicians can step in and tell

choice has no wait in the premises its
about time that the leading politicions
of that strip were set down on.

1t will be seen that the National Encamp-

legitimate fruits in this recommendation OF

at the entire expense of the general govern

the government at Arlington.
Secretary Endicott will no doubt accept
the suggestions Of the general OF the army,
and make in bis reports, as Secretary Of
War, positive accommodation on the sub.

Cleveland in his message to Congress, with
which he transmits all these reports, will
have something to say upon question OF
such vital importance.
